MH Refine & Define 09 @ Luna Bar

August 21, 2009November 11, 2010 dixonthum

Mein and I went to Luna Bar for the MH Refine & Define Party on 13 August 09. Got the invites from MH. I was really keen to go there to test my new EOS. It’s my first time using my EOS for a night function… some more with a stage. It’s indeed impromptu and fast. I think it’s the best chance to pick up some photography skills by attending various events and try out different ways to manipulate the gadget.

Mein at the red carpet…

At the bar upstairs…

With the beautiful skyline of KL City…

Luna Bar…

Look! It’s Daphne Iking and the R&D participants…

I like this night view of KL… It’s the Bukit Nanas Monorail station…

Smoke free zone.. I like!

I like this experimental pic…

Nice view out there…!

Yasmin Ahmad : Gone Too Soon

August 11, 2009October 4, 2010 dixonthum

I believe everyone (at least Malaysians) knows who Yasmin Ahmad was… and need no further introduction about her contributions to the local movie and advertising industry from me. Those who have been following my blog would notice that I have links to her blogs (the old and new one) since a long time ago. I have been reading her blogs all this while.

From her blog, she’s such a great person that I have noticed. I do not only mean how she interpreted her feelings through her movies, but I also meant the meticulous way she answered her fans’ comments in her blog. You can actually feel her heart and emotions whenever she’s responding to a certain comment/issue. She’s so good at being herself. She’s been there in my daily life whenever I read her latest posts. From her last post, I can tell that she’s still got so much things in her mind to present to us. She’s still got so many projects planned. But she’s left us. And all her plans would not be fulfilled anymore. No matter who is taking over her projects, those will never be the same again. There’s no more "Yasmin Ahmad" touch anymore.

I will always miss her… She’s gone too soon… A great person has left us and I do believe that God loves her more.

(Even by the time I’ve finished writing this post, I still couldn’t accept the fact that she’s left us. She’s left such a great impact to myself.)

Quit!

July 25, 2009October 4, 2010 dixonthum

Have you ever wonder what will happen IF you quit your job?

What will happen to the house loan? What will happen to your family? What should you do after quitting? Who is going to pay for your food? What is going to pay for the petrol? No more KFC? No more nice clothes? No more fancy restaurants? No more MONEY???

Basically, everyone dreams of sitting down and relaxing at home. Shaking legs and doing nothing would be the ultimate bonus! Having time to fly around the world. Gosh… how I wish this can happen to me…!

There are so much thoughts I have in mind when I think of the question above. I really don’t know what will happen next. So much responsibilities and burden to consider. I believe everyone has their one responsibilities as well which kept them continue working although most of them do not like their jobs. So, no matter how bad you think your job is, be strong. Keep reminding yourself that you need the job to earn a living, for a better future, for your family and for yourself. This will make you feel a lot better.

But to tell you the truth, I’m looking forward for the day when I need not work but just lay back and relax (+ shake legs + do nothing) without worrying about money. Wouldn’t that be great?

A Special Father’s Day in Green Box

June 22, 2009June 23, 2009 dixonthum

On Father’s Day night (21 June 2009), we went to Green Box, Cheras Selatan to sing k. Our main purpose there was not to celebrate Father’s Day but just for the sake of singing. However, when we were there, they said that father sings for FREE!!! So nice! So we only need to pay for the price of 5 pax. (We have 6 person in total). Fathers also get a free black chicken herbal soup in coconut.

We sang til we dropped on that day. We dug a lot of English oldies specially for pa to sing and don’t forget latest hits for ourselves. Haha!

Around 11pm, there was a game organised at the front entrance of Green Box. Pa and I joined the game. The first round required us (the children) to be blindfolded and to guess who is their own father by touching the hands. Another 2 pairs of a boy and a girl as well as myself got into the finals. In the final round, we were asked to write out the answers for some questions related to our own father. All the three pairs got our answers correct. So, everyone gets prizes!!!

We had a fun time there… singing from 6.30pm to 1am!!! Wow! Very tired the day after… 😦

Being blindfolded…

"Hmm… who’s papa?"

Papa found!

3 final pairs…

Everyone’s a winner!

Our prizes : a pair of car shades, a karaoke vcd (old songs) and a game cd.
